Several players on the Pittsburgh Steelers have expressed a level of shock when they heard that former teammate Minkah Fitzpatrick was traded to the Miami Dolphins. But it sounds like Fitzpatrick was well aware that this was happening during the negotiating process between the two teams. It sounds like he was even open to the idea according to Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel via the team YouTube page.
“As you enter into negotiations of any sort of trade, you try to identify first and foremost that the player you’re receiving wants to play football for you,” McDaniel said.
